I had phones aren't working at all. Oh, because they're not plugged in. Test test. There they have a meeting in here or something. Somebody did. There was chairs pulled up when I was in here. He is in here. Yes. Oh, okay. I was like, what in the world? They wrote a little bit. It was funny. Are you good, Hunter? We're just rolling straight into it. That's right. Yeah. Welcome back to the Duck Caught Room Ladies and Gentlemen. We are back. And yeah, I don't know, man, we're all trying to Is a morning episode. So if it's a little slow, forgive us, but we got to leave town. I'm fired up for a morning episode. I know Stalin's headed to Nashville as well as myself. So we got a full week of shaking hands with turkey hunter. So what's you going to do this week? Yes. Probably rest. That's what we're talking about. I'm talking about four or 15 to, you know, dark. Well, we usually do the Veterans Hunt in Louisiana, but this year the Veterans Hunt was before season instead of after season. So we had to go to Arkansas. But we didn't have a good time though. It was large. That's all that matters. I'm glad you hunted all day. You look like you're about starving. Oh, yeah. No, we've been eating good. It was quite the trip. We had some interesting things happen this past weekend. You sent me a bunch of pictures. Well, it was quite the crew we had. We had our boy Blake Cook who's been on here and Chad Wright who's done the undershading podcast. Now that dude is he's a character. He's got a nice set of hair and beard. Look at the size of that cypress. That bowl cypress is something else. Then we had a hundred robe show's Chad robe show's son and then tie Edwards. He is such a good dude. Got a positive attitude and we had a large time. That's right. Look at like a cypress gnome. What are you wearing? Still, Jay's had it. What is that? I think we need to zoom in. What's that? What's that? Look at them teeth. That's nice. Stone's hat. Okay. I call it pile hat or two pile hat. A bomber hat. What kind of critters on it? What kind of what? Rabbit rabbit rabbit. Okay. I said, yeah. Hey, it looks way better old him. It does me. I had looks good on any. No, we were we were hunting right below that big bowl cypress. I said, say, you know what? This would be a good place to bury you when you leave the earth. And he said, you know what? He said, I think you're right. He said, y'all, y'all that way, y'all. I said, hey, when y'all be hunting and y'all get a bunch in there and y'all, you hear more, sir. Hey, I got that one for you. Went three for three. Yeah, I did. I was going to go, I had that story. I'll pay down the new hijack to it. Well, that's what it does. That's a that's a Robertson trait from way back. That's very netty. Yeah. But anyways, that's a beautiful, beautiful place right there. I got to look at his eyes. Always crazy. He's got the same look side to us. Yeah. Well, we've sitting there. Look, we were sitting there taking his picture. Okay. And then what happened? Here come a big mile of drake just in the decoy. Yeah. And I wasn't quick enough. Didn't get him. You know, he got away. The bag was in between side and the drake. Yeah. Oh, and if you were to see the fear in his eyes and max eyes and max. Oh, no. He was he was fixed to go on the water. Right on top of max. He was fixed to go underwater. He said, I was fixed to go for a dive. He said, good, I'm going to get shot. All right. My little great. Again, you look hungry. But Chad told me he's Chad said, brother, stow what I fixed. Take my YouTube channel to the next level. I said, what do you mean? He said, I've been studying Uncle Si all week. Oh boy. I think I got it figured out. Yeah. Good luck with that. That's it. As long as he's got a few missing, you know, fire and pins. Oh, he's he's definitely got that. It'll be all right. Oh, well, we had a large time. So we go up there. I'm very interested in what this hold up. Hold up. Hold up on that. Hold up. Hold up. Hold up. Hold up. Hold up. Hold up. Hold up. That one. Follow. So we go up there. Of course, older normal year. They're full of ducks this time of year. But since we had the ice storm, they all locked up. Me too. He's still up. They were locked up on Sunday, the Maris's. So we couldn't hunt up up there. Rembrocurry like we normally normally do. So whoever their buddy's act down to buy what do you say? It's called a meadow. Meadow. Buy meadow. Buy meadow. Yeah. To the public was beautiful place. But we did the boat race and all that. Didn't fire a shot. Uh, what's the pretty place? But just it was nice everywhere. Everywhere. Still. Oh yeah. You'll pile up or decide the road you're on and then we went by uh, rice fields. It was still just ice stover. Oh yeah. It was wild. Oh not mean it's been sunshineing for about four days, yeah. It's still ain't no. But anyway, we did fire shot. So we need lunch, buddy of a buddy of a buddy made a phone call made a phone call. Hey, that we found some ducks in the city. City. What? So what we learned was this weekend that did he ducks or way number then country ducks? Oh, I got a mark. Do you have you ever heard that I ducks follow the interstates north and south? I believe those are called rivers. Yeah. I gender. No, no, I'm something I like. Well, I will say you do really most interstates also follow rivers. There's the big town on the rivers. Yeah. Yeah. But uh, uh, put max. Yeah, max those. Yeah, max told that young Mac. Yeah. Video Mac. Yeah, video Mac. Magnus. I thought about rivers. Yeah. Yeah. I told him that. I'll. Max. Maybe she'd pay a little closer attention in geography. Well, uh, I will say the correlation between roads, rivers and and town. About what? What? What? I was the place we hunted on. Yeah. Well, exactly. Ancestral. Oh, what? Well, if you're hunting in the city, I'm assuming you're talking about Little Rock. Yeah. What other cities in Arkansas? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Or ice. I'll tell you how close to the interstates it was. Yeah. Donald's crippled a mile of drake down. Okay. And he fell in the interstrate. But anyway, this guy was kind enough to let us, the group of ants coming hunt his whole. But he had four youngins with him. That's right. And they standing up in charge in the blind and they are whacking and stacking them jack. I mean, a craft. It really would. I bet it sounded like something one coming there. Oh, no. Yeah. Oh, no. Yeah. Oh, no. Yeah. On them. Twenty-second. One. What? Rade, I think, was his name. Oh, so I'm like, all he's done, he was a cripple killer. Yeah. Yeah. He has a single barrel, single barrel. And that's they ended up in the chairs. They ended the chairs. One day in cripple one. If he didn't make it out far, they were. I will say this that of all the hunters in the blind. Those four boys were the safest hunters. That's good. That's true. That's true. That was true. So the young ones were the safest. Who was who I want? I got a little while. They're on one of them. He got a little. I'll say, I brought him two boxes of shells. I figured I'd be plenty. No, that ain't enough. He needs four. An hour later, he said, hey, I need some more shells. And he would give me no more. I would give him. I just went out. I just said the 28 gauge was a thing locked back. Well, I guess I'm done. I'm out. I can't say that black gun barrel do this. Anyways, we had a big time. And one of the one of the funniest things that happened that he did was a jack come flying through at about Mark three. Hey, he went out there and went by first over the decoy. Oh, yeah, it turned and then he was coming straight at you. Yeah. You're wide open. I was also 15 m all right. And he did this. You can't let him. You can't let a jack there. I saw her a muller. Hey, I didn't approve him. Jack. So this is what happened. Play that video. Oh, this is the video that I was on the side. She's the jack or somebody does. Hey, that thing hit a two four like right here. Oh, yeah. Hey, I like how you didn't move. Hey, no, you said, no, let me see exactly. Okay, let me get let me get right here. Let me I just like whoever yelled, hey, catch him. Catch him. That thing came in the blind. You know, you always try to catch him. So I said, because he got a broke bone. Yeah, you know, you don't catch him. I did that one time. That's bad deal. Yeah, I put a bone through my hand. That hurt for you. All right. What you don't want to do is like a specklebell of goose shoot coming in the body. A specklebell of goose like a 50 pound weight falling from it. Yeah, I think hit you. You're key. Yeah. Yeah. But big, big prop big thanks to Jared for letting us hunt that hole. That was that was pretty cool. And that's big city ducks. Big city duck. So it's a city ducks are way easier to kill the country ducks. So we could smoke those ones in our neighborhoods down there. They'd walk right up to you and let you know I know it.

But the coolest one that happened was on the way back. I stopped at a gas station and I don't ever do this. Yeah, I carry a sire out. I'll overplace hunting whatever. But I saw this boy walk out of his truck. He tell he's been ducking him and his dad about 10 years old. Something in me said, roll down that window. Get side of asking if he killed anything. Oh, that's just to make his day. I would ever do that. So I rolled down the window. I said, hey boy, you killing ducks. Yeah, that boy just looked at him and smiled. Yeah, the truck was a duck calling his hand. Yeah. So the dad is behind him and he looks in the window. He goes walking up. He said, man, it's so good to meet you. I need to tell you all this story before you leave. He said about 25 years ago, he was talking to side. He said, I bought a duck call from your brother, the DC 200. And he signed it for me. I bought it for $10. And he said, man, I lost that thing. It was one of the worst days of my life. I've been trying to find another one like it. Can't find one. Man, it was it was he said he's sitting in the truck. We're all on this guy just after a talk. So I said, hold on. I say, yeah, I just happen to have the DC 200 on my lander. So I go back to the rig, get my DC 200 off the lander, get side to sign it, and then I gave it to him. Oh, that's fantastic. This guy's crying. This man grabbed me and started hugging me. It was sobbing on my shoulder. Oh my God. He's literally crying. So that shook me up. Yeah, you know, I got emotional. I'm like, man, I said, he said, you don't understand how much this means to me. And I said, dude, all I can tell you is something in me. Tell me to roll down that window. Now I know what it was. That's it. It was all just in the gas station parking lot station. Yeah, I believe it's stuck guard. And I was exact. Blake Blake Cook was at the back seat. And he was all wide-eyed. He said, dude, that's one of the coolest things I've ever seen. That's awesome. I said, brother, don't ever doubt it. God is real. There ain't no doubt. I look. So he goes, he's wearing this jacket. And he takes his jacket off. He says, I want you to have my jacket, which I thought was kind of weird. You know, but I wasn't going to turn it down. I said, dude, give me his jacket. You know, but turns out. He said, this is the first one I ever made. He said, I made on a clothing line for waterfowlers called Halo Waterfowl. And this was the first jacket that I made. That's it. Greg or his brother. Oh, okay. Chase. Okay. Chase. I know Greg. Yeah. I know Greg. Yeah. I know Greg. Oh, it all comes full circle. So Greg Huss were right. He green the country western singer. Yeah. They heard what our friend Drew and John down at Honeybreak all the time. That's amazing. So I get this jacket. Awesome. By the way, I did see it. That's part about this jacket. Smell that jacket. Oh, Martin got a little nervous. Yeah, I didn't know. I went back to high school and left for a second. It was like crayons. Yeah. Like a crayon box. Yeah. So I put it in my truck and just like the best air freshener I ever had in my truck. Yeah. That's fun. So I'll be wearing this jacket. It's got a cool look about it. The Marksaw boys like that waxed canvas and all that look like that. But I just thought, man, what a what an awesome experience that was. Well, he was there for about 45 minutes. Yeah, I took my time. I was like, I ain't getting a rush. Yeah. That's funny. It's just a it's a small world. Oh, no, it's not. Yeah. When you said, Hey, love, I really is. I know all them boys. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Unity is not. Now it ain't. We've been texting back before. I sent you a picture. I was about to say, is that the picture of Chase with Phil when he bought that duck call? That's him. Yeah. Oh, that's cool. Okay. That's what that was. I'm looking at where we go. Yeah, you keep sneak peeking. He bought that DC $200 for $10 that day. It, it, it feels side it for him. What a story. Yeah. And now he's got one. It looks like he bought it at church. So he bought it from K. Yeah. Hey, bought it from K. 25 years ago, he bought that in a church lobby. Yeah, he bought that he bought that from K before they got on him. Caseroles of the wild game dinner. That's right. That's awesome. What a unbelievable story. Yeah. Hey, that's what duck kind of do for you, man. Yeah, it's just in the gas station parking lots of best parts because not at the boat ramp is just random random chance of running into each other in the afternoon. Yeah. And then Chase, it takes me later. He had a police escort there for something that happened. I don't know all the details about it. He said, it's that he shouldn't have been there. Oh, wow. He wasn't going there. And I was just messing around eating the chicken sandwich. You know, just trying to make some random kids day. Yeah, that's the stock. Yeah, the cases in the stock. Yeah. Oh, yeah, right past my the case. He's got that good spicy chicken sandwich. Oh, it's good. It's good. I don't know. Everything I've ever had from cases is good. It's just good. It's chick-fil-a's. You put some of that boom boom sauce on there. It's even better. Yeah. I just I get that they got that breakfast bowl there. Cases that everybody gets on that breakfast pizza, but they make it the bowl. It's just as good. Oh, come on. I know it. I mean, a little better for you. Yeah, you missed the you missed the bread of the pizza. I know it's just it meant a lot of that guy because hey, he's about made him bowl. Don't cry. Yeah.

Yeah, we met a lot of good people this weekend. It was it was pretty special. Well, we got into the blind. A buzzard was circular. You didn't did you? Oh, that poor. But I did, but I did. I did turn to raid now. Sir, razor, we shoot buzzards. He looked at me and man, he's just no. Yeah, okay. Oh, good. Thank goodness the child. The problem is if you read what I said, yes, they had no idea what I'm writing up to pop. That buzzard was toast. If that I want to see what he said, he didn't know how much power he held over that buzzard at that moment. Oh, man, those boys had large pictures of those boys. I did not get that one. I was looking up skis had a big time. I knew if I put duck was side next to him, they would. Well, side, that's good, man. You got to, you got to hunt a place that I've driven by a lot and I always wondered what the duck hunt was like. No, no, sounds just chill. We get We've got it in the blind. You own the kids all got on the right end. Yo, and Stone said, hey, let's sign it down there with him. I said, yeah, make room for one more kid, boys. Yeah, we got one more youth coming. One more youth on our here. Did you sign up for the youth there or the veteran today? Now that is a little bit, a little bit better. There's the picture. That is a picture right there.

Look at my man holding that jack. Oh, yeah. Well, he got a strangle hold on that ring net. Oh, yeah. I love this picture. Well, they had a couple that they was going out. Yeah. No, because they wouldn't shout up, you know, perfect. You know, it looks like that ring net means a lot to that one boy. Oh, is that read? Oh, that's right. Oh, man. It was, it all worked out. But then boys arrow hooked for life. They carried it to their hunter. And those boys could shoot. And they could shoot. That's good. That's awesome. You can tell they've been raised, right? Did he do? I like it. I've always wondered how he hunted that or how, you know. Well, it turns out that. You see him all the time. And drive by there and just look at him. So Jared, the guy that runs all that, holds all that. He said, yeah, I heard what a guy that used to work for y'all for about a year. You know, Lyle, Saky. Oh, no. No, I know. Lyle, he lived for like 15 minutes from right there all day was. Who's Saky? Who's Saky? Yeah. Yeah. That's fun. Yeah. So yeah, I just looked at Saky L. War of Loss, I'm all of you. Thank you, man.

And so he told him he said, I got to do something. And feel say what are you talking about? He said, I can't keep on after you after what you shared with me.

He's got. No, no. Everybody's got their own story. Let's take it out there. Some of those things if they had not happened. None of these signatures would be on his table. Yeah, I don't remember the sound guy's name. But anyway, he had a coup conversion. He got baptized, not for what he heard but what he didn't hear. Yeah, talk about a wild guy. Yeah, you used to eat pepper sauce so hot. Oh, no. Oh, he, oh, he's good. I think I was thinking. It's like, I gotta be clean, man. So he found that if you eat so certain heat of pepper sauce, it releases the same endorphins as that. All the worst one in the year. No drug. So he would get over and put a drop of that concentrated pepper juice on his tongue. His wild. I was like, version, sure, that's still that, that seems like that you know what you're doing. It may not quite be in line with what we're after. So see the one that ate the 15 year old pickle out of the business. Yeah, it's like it's been in the blind like 20 years. Jarred. It had turned. It was had turned from green, but as far as Brown, as far as Doug Dynasty fans are concerned, there's John Gov. Right now. Yeah, but hey, it was funny. He said, there's a fun. I'm going in, boys. He told me that thing up and I didn't feel today. I'll feel said was hey, he was watching real closely for about a year now. And what you're telling what that man is going to do to you. Oh my goodness gracious. I like a pickle, but they readily available. This thing had turned from a green cucumber to a brown piece of trash. Hey, you know what happens when you get old? Your prostate grows. I gotta go take a leak. Uh oh. I gotta go take a leak. Take a break. Hey, I got somebody that reached out to me about that. It's just a medicine. I can't wait for you to come back because you sent me one other video that I should have waited for. Yeah. But it's, it's, oh well, let's make me smile. Well, let's don't take a leak. I don't know. Yeah, we want to stop or we just want to keep going. Hey, we ain't in that bigger hurry. The hunter, you heard about all this. What do you think about it, hunter? Which part? All of it. What's your favorite thing you've heard so far? Oh, I like the story of the jacket. Yeah, the jacket's cool. I look really cool. That jacket's nice, too. Yeah. Oh, that ain't a cheap jacket. Well, well made, very nice jacket. American made, American made, white canvas, right? Oh, no, that ain't nice, Ryan proof. Yeah. I went to go battle and I'm going to save up. Yeah, it's expensive. Greg and him got an expensive thing going on over the gray jacket. That's what it's worth, is the thing. Yeah. Well, it's all, I think they're made in Georgia, maybe. It has a made in the USA tag on a new one. Yeah, no, I know they're all, I know they're 100%. Like, that's what they started was to make premium clothing in the United States. And you can take that jacket, fold it up and it fits in one of the pockets. Yeah. Wait, what? Yeah, you fold it up and it fits inside one of the pockets. All right, I might have to give me that jacket. Oh, it's cool, Jack. So, you buy me a new one. I looked up the new one because I was like, you hear Hunter? Can you buy me one too? I'm a little poor. Hunter. Maybe. Maybe. I might get you one for it. When's your birthday, Hunter? August. Oh, well, you won't need it for a while. I'm gonna get that other video if I'll send you. Oh, it's Martin. Now look, everybody knows we had the big ice tour come through. And, uh, I think we all got stranded down at the layer with no power. No food. Look at Burley. The videos. Burley's got a tough one. What is that? What is that delicious looking meat? That's ducks. They got ducks. Oh, roasting over an open fire. That's right. Burley and Stone just staring at the camera in the dark. So, before the ice tour came through, I told the old lady. I said, look, there's a possibility. If I go hunting Saturday, I'll be stuck there. Mm-hmm. Or who knows how long. So, she said, go kill them. She was a robber. That's good. Yeah, that's right. She said, get out of here. So, I packed up, good minute clothes. Not much food. She had packed up way more food because Dashor had his boy there the first night. They were stuck there, Zach and Bear. I brought a half of a butt cake and bear ate the whole thing the first night. Not her you want on a ride? Never had to rush it. Never had to rush it before. I said, so you ever heard the concept of other people? He's like, no. You would think for folks that survived what happened in Asheville, they didn't know them about riding one out for a little bit. Oh, yeah. So, the power goes out. But, personally, Saturday, when the ice storm came three, we just ripped the ducks. It was best dugout I had down there, old time. And it lasted for about seven days, fine dugout. But the problem was, we run out of food. We had plenty of water. We had an old time at Kaufermaker. So, first night, me, Berley, Jace was there. Zach, it has been Bear. Saturday night. Well, the women got to hollering. So, somehow, Jason, Zach made it back the next night. So, the next night, just me and Berley, an okayed living in the lair with no power, no food. So, we literally had to go kill what we were going to eat. It was very, very nice. I would say, I felt like I was living 200 years ago. We filled that video cave, filled that video. And when he scrolled up to our faces, he got to laugh. Whenever I watched it, right when I got in the room, I died like that. I didn't take a bath for five days. I was laying in the bed that third night and I felt a hand on my back. And I heard a voice saying, Miss Rose, is that you? Oh. Oh. Oh. You should scream now. I say, you better get your hand off me. Oh. Well, my buddy said, I told you that story. He said, well, that might be one of the situation was where there wasn't nothing you could have done about it. Yeah. Well, I did die trying to do that. They made a movie about that. Yeah. They stuck on a mountain. Oh. Ah. Oh. That was a, of course, what a man, what a man Berley sized. You just got saved. You later. I hate to tell you. I ate a hand. No. I ate a head. Birthday. Birthday. with Burley's dad and Burley a lot. It's a big boy. They're both just, I mean, brutes. Okay, strong, he's a hock, both of them. Oh, my goodness. That's one of the funniest things that ever happened. Oh, no, life. Yeah, I could just hear Burley in the sexy voice. Who's that, you? Yeah, I walked home. Yeah. We talked about that bear survival thing. I got real big. I got that pepper spray too. Oh, my goodness. That's funny. Oh, frigging burl. Five days with burl in no shower. No shower. No lights. No power. Holy. That's phenomenal. Oh, God. Oh, I bet it was cold. It was cold. Yeah, it was cold. That's cold. That's a 10-builder. Yeah. Yeah. That was, but best five day road in Duck Cutting. I've had down there ever. Yeah. It should have been. Yeah. I was looking at all of them on my trail camera. I couldn't get to them. I was like, well, maybe I just have to be there when I get there. Martin was stuck behind power lines. I was stuck behind power lines. We were hanging across the road. I didn't know enough about them until they said I had power back at my house. And then I said, I'm about to figure it out. And I started cutting them out of trees. I was like, there we go, boy. For the sound. Because Jay sent me out the next day. He said, hey, see if we can get to the lake. And I waited about halfway. And when I turned the rig off, it said like somebody was shooting the woods up. Oh, yeah. Just got up. Yeah. Or as a pile, pile, pile. The same was done just sitting outside. It sounded like that is your house, too. Oh, I bet. I bet. I can't confirm. I can confirm. Yeah. It was quite the storm. Yeah.

Don't you haven't heard that story? It's 17 different colors. He slipped at the top of his driveway and went all the way down the bottom. I ended up on the driveway. I ended up on the driveway. Yeah. I went under. I ended up under my truck in the coldest side and I have a bruise down my right hip. Halfway down to my thigh. That's one of the things. Those are this. Oh, buddy, you don't do that. It hurts. It hurts. Bad time to live on a hill. Yeah. Yeah. Well, or just a being idiot. Not look. I mean, I don't know what else I could have done other than not being asleep to drive. But yeah. Well, then the Olympics started just to Tannis. Oh, yeah. Those. That old boy just sprinting up a mountain yesterday. Uh huh. Uh huh. Uh huh. He is in full sprint. He's running a, he ran a six minute mile uphill in skis. Yeah. I never knew that I would be so impressed with guys on ice skates. That boy that keeps doing that backflip on, I mean, he just keeps doing it. We need to get him one of these jackets from Halo, but it would look better, man. I'm just saying. Yeah. But the fact that my man can go full speed, ice skating backwards and then just do a backflip is incredible. I'm like, I just watch it. I get sucked into it. And I'm like, that is phenomenal. I went in to find a clip of it. Well, show side of this cat do a backflip on ice skate. It's, it's unbelievable. Forget all the twist and turns and stuff he does. The fact that he can go from skating backwards to a backflip and stick the landing is unbelievable. I don't even, what's his name, Ilya? Oh, his name. I don't know. I found my cat. Yeah. Malinan. Yeah. That cat. I ain't put, they probably got 17 ads in front of him. They got so much trying to block it from, but it is. Watch it. All them people are incredible, man. Yeah, I was in figure skating. I can't help it. I know it's crazy, but I didn't figure he would land the way he lent on one foot. Yeah. On a butter knife. No, no. How do you do that? Mark can't even get up the drive. I can't even forward roll. I can't believe it didn't break his neck. I mean, it's incredible. The skill is what's incredible. Not necessarily. It looks like he stuck stuck it with the front part of it. Now, the flat, you know, he flimped and his knife. No. So I can't even begin to explain it. It's incredible. That's why I didn't, I couldn't believe he was still up. My hat's off to any professional in their given field though. I mean, that stuff's unbelievable. That cat right there is crazy. He's crazy for just for wearing something like that. I just look, that's what he, that's what he landed. Size holding machete. All right, for those listening, it says Uncle Syne. I think about it. That's a good, no. Put that on the bottom of your foot and just take off. Yeah, take off. All right, no, hide. Forget that. Give me four wheels, Jack. Sit in it with the heater on. I guess I'm going to have to start watching them in the morning. Have they done any Bob sledding stuff yet? Or is that not on yet? The whole team USA fell out of the Bob sled at one point. Oh, wow. It was not a great look. I thought it doesn't matter. I'm rooting for Jamaica. It's also true. Because we need to, we need to, we need to sequel to cool run. I don't think that's on yet. Oh, okay. There's a bunch of weird. You need to make a jump. Huh? Like skiing? Yeah. The skiing making, well, they both goes by. The guy goes up around. On the Bob sled? Oh, no, on skates. Oh. On skates. That's the full wheeler pulling them. Why don't the red national challenge the winner led them. I think that's the thing. Yeah, the full wheeler goes by the jump. And I'm talking about, hey, make it like a bridge. It just goes and then stops. A bridge? Yeah. The where of pairs you too. That's how high I want it. A four wheeler, a ice rink, and this old boy on the skates. And that's all we need. And I'd be saying, where's the parachute? It might get more viewers. Yeah. Oh, it would be a huge issue. And I never knew how much the Olympics needed Snoop Dogg, too. But his little recap every night on NBC is America. A favorite uncle. How did he go? How does one rebrand himself that well? Well, you went from when they took the stick my way from marijuana. It really opened a lot of doors for him. But I mean, he went from, you know, kind of scary. Yeah. And I mean, I wouldn't have crossed him. Yeah. So now I'm like, I kind of want to give him a hug and learn some things. Yeah. Yeah, Uncle Snoop. Yeah. He saw what's out there. He studied. Oh, Snoop. Oh, he studied. He said, if you're just crazy enough and funny enough, this will work for you. Yeah. Snoop did it. So. That's why way of chest. That he studied side this week. He said, be tell a story. Oh, Chad be looking at him like he is. The whole time. No, he said, he said, I've been said. Jeff is one of the jittery. He said, every time I, he said, I listen to you for years now. And he said, at first, I didn't know what he said, but I've got who I believe everything you say. Yeah. Now, he told one about that B break, blind. We were trying to figure out how high, how tall the B break, blind actually was. Because I said it was eight, 14 foot ladders stacked on top each other. 28 times four. It's over 100 feet. That's 112 feet, you know? Yeah. 112 feet. It's a 30 yards. Well, you got almost 40 yards straight down. You know, cause they look, you know, we, I just washed that cat up there in a 70 foot bucket and got uneasy. I wouldn't have went duck up with y'all. Well, I'll tell you that. Hey, hey, add another 40 yards to what we was looking at on that bucket. That's what I'm saying. I don't, I, that's, that's why I said I wouldn't have went duck up with y'all. Cause I'm telling you how hot was a Miller Drake was light in the decoys. I mean, directly above, we're both with a three and a half inch magnum 12 gauge loaded with two. And you could shoot him right in the middle of the back and kill him. Could not kill him. He was the world record. He was the world tallest cypress tree. Look like that one y'all were standing next to. Oh, no, we had two that Himalayan cypress tree is 335 foot tall. Good. Great. Lord, that makes sense. It's in Himalayas. You got to be tall to live. Oh, no, cause that tree we were standing against. I got where mountain Everest to you. Yeah, but then little dudes that hairy up to mountain ain't tall. No, but I'm saying the trees if you go make it. No, the people need to be little if you go make it about the bow and cypress. Right. That's tree that was standing by and taking a picture. There was two across the lake. Yeah. Okay, that was up there. Oh, I've been right there where you were. That's where I had to go fetch. God was dear, at the middle of the lake. Yeah, okay. Yeah, the water. Yeah, that's exactly not far from where you were as where I went in that water to get the God was dear, at the middle of that lake. There's one right now in the Dale Bumpers White River National Wildlife Refuge in Arkansas. Which is right beside where they were. Yeah, 126 foot tall. 126. Well, if you doubt, hey, you need to go to Austin, Texas down there where the creek is. Oh, San Diego grand and Antonia. San Antonio. And hey, they've got some monstrous type of trees down there on that thing. Oh, I don't. Just huge. You know, I mean, they go up in the sky too big time. I don't have a way to get proofy or disagree with you all that, because I was, is the tree even still there? No. They cut it down. The game wants one of that and both of them blinds. So it killed the tree? It kills the tree. Yeah. Just stupid. Or to be fair, at 100 feet foot up in the air, they probably did you a favor because it was all that matter time for somebody. Somebody fixed it at that. Somebody going. You going to watch your buddy with a cypress neithers chest. It's something. But I told the story of when we was building that blind, we liked the last Mory's career. Yeah. That's the one where Tommy put his tackle that weighed about 280. That's the one where Tommy put his show. And it's behind it. And it was, it was touching gold for about 20 seconds, maybe 30. And then he finally, when he pushed him, just, you know, cause hey, look, that tree was just like that tree we were sitting under, the cypress neithes all around it. Oh, yeah. It was killing him. That was hammer. Yeah. No doubt about it. Why don't get that high? Well, just for the, that's where the ducks come. Well, I understand that, but you didn't have to get that high. Oh, yeah. And look, hey, I mean, 40 feet would have been fine. I wish I had it on video. The, the blind, we made it where we walked upstairs to get on the shooting board. And when you stood up, you know, you're, you're that far above and the, when the clouds were low, yeah, you'd be, you'd be standing above the clouds. You were hunting above the clouds? Oh, yeah. You were standing above the clouds. And hey, 25 wood ducks come by and I call them, they want him, they want him flying. They was just, it looked like it wouldn't flip it away. Yeah. But they were just glad and by. Pretty wouldn't work. Yeah. Beautiful. And they were just on the, some shiny day. I just found a Facebook page called Big Tree Seekers and I think I found a new hobby just now. Looking for big trees. They just go out and find big trees. Well, they ain't going out running. So you ain't got to be fast. Yeah. There you go. Hey, man, and anywhere worth going, worth going in good boots. Oh, hey, the only way you're going to be cool is you got to get you some to cove us.

Just how do they go? They got one that you could drive a fire truck to. It's so big. They cut it. They cut it. It's big you in it. I don't know that I want to experience that 300 feet. That's a 150 to 300. That's a 100 yards. That's a football field straight up. That's a football field straight up. Well, I'd. Oh. Imagine that place getting hit by an ice storm. Oh, Lord. Then brains is probably stronger than our weak little. Well, I've noticed the strongest tree around here is the Cypress tree. Yeah. They didn't take it on the tree. The worms fell out of a Cypress tree. Them. There's a few up on the side of the reservoir that got it, but they wouldn't. They wouldn't bad. They wouldn't. Them pine trees took it on the tree. Eyes and seders. They're the weakest. Yeah. And they don't. They don't. Well, they're the only ones with anything to the for that ice to grab. So they had a little extra weight on them. They say no. No, no. That tree that fell behind my dad's house, he's cutting it up. I went and looked at it the other day. The worst ones I've seen in the live oaks. Then people that put live oaks around their houses. They're the shredded. The live oaks. But that tree fell on one branch. That branch is three foot deep in the ground. They literally have to pull them out with tractors. Them. All that noise you hear, they literally blow up. Yeah. But then live oaks just, you know how they're short and then they kind of branch out. They just all come back to the middle and just lay down. Just like the neighborhood I grew up in or the road I grew up on had a bunch of people. They planted live oaks around their house for shade and stuff. No more. They, it is all I guess I maybe live oaks makes good firewood, but I don't know. It does. It was real slow. Well, that's good. It was slow and hot. Well, we got enough to last to the next one of them come by. My old house had them two giant live oaks in the front yard. Have you been over there? How'd that fare? No, no boy no. I mean, I thought I had it, but I'm kind of glad I moved at this point. Sorry to whoever bought that thing. You got a mess. Confirmed. Confirmed. It was it was crazy what it did, but we got any emails or anything, 100 voicemail, anything. What we want to do? 100. No, no voicemails. No voicemails, Hunter. Well, all of them just say how much they love. That well, but the praise God, me too. 3182 156559 is the number. If you want to call, leave us a voicemail question. We'll play it here on there. A lot of the emails are the same way. Yeah. Here's a message for uncle Si from Cooper from Missouri. Oh. Go ahead. I got he just went through a little bit of a rough time, but side makes him happier. Boy, pretty much a whole email. Yeah, that I didn't even been through a rough time, but side makes me happy. Hey, last two short to be said, I got one and I did get something from Tucker in Flowwood, Mississippi. Is that a jackson? Oh, it would. Mississippi. Right outside, didn't it? Apparently there's a very fancy steak restaurant where you can order a $57 B.F.A. Which that checks out. You can either get it a medium rare medium rare plus medium medium plus or medium well. I think you've taken over the one, but what is Pittsburgh rare? Oh, I don't know that it's very rare. I just want to follow. All five is put sending about there. Just sliding by the fire real quick. I tried. You remember we was talking about old decals that need to make a comeback. That's rare. Somebody made one aside, I just sent you. Oh, yeah, I got that too. You got it. Yeah, somebody made it. Oh, oh goodness. Now I didn't get that one. Yeah, I ain't just good. Remember the old boy that used to pee on everything, so he said, that's something he's to make a comeback. Well, God made one aside, peeing on days. Oh, it's a side had a stream like that in 20 years. Oh, and hey, there you are. I could do it. Ah. Here's the one I got. The side up, the old one. Oh, I actually kind of want that. Yeah, that was that one too. That looked good on your laptop. That was there. Oh, piss on it. Oh, man. That was from Tracy. Oh, man. Tracy sent that in. And then Matthew lives in Wisconsin. We recently had a pretty big conversation about bears and what to do if they attack you. And he also heard some crazy police stories that we enjoy. We can combine both here. Oh, wow. Yeah. I was constantly bear police story. I love this. The suburbs of Mill. He's not a cop, but he has two friends and a cop and the suburbs of Milwaukee. And two years ago, a lady was in sayoms and got into a little bit of an altercation, but she had bear spray on his hand. No. Apparently, once you pull the trigger on bear spray, that's it. Oh, it's done. It's going till it's over. Wow. So for 30 seconds, the entire store of sayoms got bear sprayed. Wow. They had to evacuate the whole place. People get to the hospital and they had to block off the parking lot and like close sayoms because of bear spray. So maybe bear spray is the answer. Wow. So there's no, there's no just a hay bear. It gave him a little bit. He gets the full bowl. If a bear attacks you and you have bear spray, it can shut down a sayoms club. Yeah. Now, there's the YouTube video we need to see. It's high who you want spray with bear spray. Who you think we can get to do that? Rucker brother take it. Yeah. Rucker's been through a lot. He can take it. Yeah. A couple hundred bucks, Rucker. He'd be a high. He got a kid now. He needs some diaper money. Oh. Anyway, I thought that story was hysterical. I mean, not hysterical, but apropos. Well, she's not here, but I noticed a little update since the last time God was on here. Apparently one of the twins has developed something. So they were asking for prayers online. It's a long name, but it's like a little vascular tumor. It's not, they call it a tumor, but it's not really a tumor that, but it can be removed and all that. But I think easy is the one twin. So if you feel like, if you feel led to lift guidelines, a little twin grand babies up, I know they're dealing with a little bit there. You can see it on his Facebook page. Yeah, I'm pulling it up right now. I can't wait. We can pronounce it, right? Yeah, I can't. Something. Hit. Well, I read it, but I still can't pronounce it. Oh, right. Throw it up there. Him and Gioema. Yeah. Him and Gioema. There you go. In her mouth. So it's just a, you see the little knot right there on her top lip. So I then looked it up and it's basically where a bunch of blood vessels get together and kind of dump in and just kind of make a knot. So they can remove the damage blood vessels. But they just have to, they have to go see a specialist and they'll figure out a plan to get rid of it. But I know, you know, I know our comments all the time are asking about Gioema and, you know, the grand babies and all that. So that's a little update since the last time he was here. So other than that, they're doing fine. And she's still doing fine. They're just going to figure out a course action for it. So. Well, I was going to end this with the Bible verse about printed trees. But since you brought that up, when Johanna, God, when daughter posts about this, she left it with a Bible verse. There you go, which seems appropriate. So John 1427, peace I leave with you, my peace I give you, I do not give you to you. Oh, reading people. It's not as easy as it sounds. John 1427, peace I leave with you, my peace I give you, I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. There you go. There you go. That's Johanna's attitude. I have confidence and they will figure it out and all will be well. I had a two of them other. So we'll see y'all next time right here in the duck call room. We're out.
